Oh, yeah. The tool has 12 tapered left-hand spirals. You tap it on
with a hammer, put an impact wrench on it, and go crazy. Typically,
you need to knock the lug out with a punch. It's pretty well chewed
up.
As they're pretty much standard equipment in any mechanic's tool box,
I don't think I'd let a shop who wanted to torch them off try. I'd
take it elsewhere, and send the folks who screwed up a bill.
